“…”
Wu Guanshan looked bewildered. "What are you all groaning about? What exactly happened? Who is this person? Why did he upset Brother Mingshuang?"
"Brother Guanshan, you just arrived in the capital, so you don't know."
"Did you see the woman Ming Shuang was with just now?"
Wu Guanshan nodded, feeling rather embarrassed: "I saw her. She must be Brother Mingshuang's sister, the third daughter of the Ji family."
"That's right! The Third Miss is no longer in the corridor. Brother Mingshuang came to invite that young master. That means that young master is the one that the Third Miss wants to see."
"Ah! Ah! This scene seems familiar."
"I vaguely remember that at the Lotus Banquet three years ago, Yang Er was also invited away by Ji Qi."
"And within a few days, the two families got married."
"The third young lady of the Ji family is really not very good at choosing a husband..."
"Don't the brothers of the Ji family care about it?"
"You know how the brothers of the Ji family pamper the third young lady."
"Alas, what my father said is true. To pamper someone is to harm them."
"Don't say that in front of Brother Mingshuang."
"I know. I know."

After Ji Mingshuang took Wu Weian to the side room, he was asked to leave.
He sat on the steps not far away, the cold wind whistled past and snowflakes fell on his shoulders.
Ji Mingshuang sighed softly.
Then let’s take Yang Weitian, he’s really good.
Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it.
He definitely couldn't let Wu Weian become the son-in-law of the Ji family.
Otherwise, let my sister continue to act like this.
Ji Mingshuang could almost foresee his sister's sad and miserable life from then on.
He has to think of a way.
Outside the room, Ji Mingshuang was thinking of a solution.
In the room, Ji Yunxi was making tea.
There was a stove in the side room, which was very warm.
Ji Yunxi sat behind the desk, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, with a beauty and fragrance.
Wu Weian huddled by the door with his head down, wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a cloth belt, looking anxious.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
The water used to make tea was snow water from the plum trees collected by the maids. It was just boiled and made a gurgling sound.
Ji Yunxi reached out and poured boiling water into the fine purple clay teapot.
In a moment, the fragrance of tea filled the air.
Ji Yunxi poured the tea, looked up, looked at the person at the door, and greeted him: "Long time no see."
Wu Weian's uneasy face showed just the right amount of doubt and confusion.
Ji Yunxi picked up the cup, took a sip, and savored the other person's micro-expression.
That’s really good. In modern times, he can be a powerful movie star.
Ji Yunxi: "Nine years have passed, and Master Wu's acting skills have gotten even better."
Hearing this, Wu Weian looked at Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi looked back calmly.
After a while, Wu Weian smiled.
Then he calmly sat down beside the table, and said sincerely, "It's rare that the third lady still recognizes me."
Chapter 4: Are You Married?
It's comfortable to deal with smart people.
It saves you from the meaningless and time-consuming rounds of "Ah, what are you saying? I don't understand. I don't know if I'm not you, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Ji Yunxi raised the corner of her lips slightly, hinting: "How dare I forget your grace?"
"Miss Third, you are too kind. I am just an incompetent person, how can I be graceful?" Wu Weian smiled modestly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, paused slightly, and raised his eyebrows.
Then he took another sip, and another.
This time, the best silver leaves and green tips are tribute from the south.
The emperor gave some as a reward to the prince, who kept some for himself and gave some to his mother's family, the Li family, and his good friend, the Ji family.
Ji Yunxi came to visit today. When Mrs. Li heard that she wanted to make tea, she specially brought it for her.
It's a good thing that's in short supply and you can't get it outside.
Ji Yunxi watched quietly, too lazy to be polite, and got straight to the point: "Did you take the agate and the 1,000 taels of silver?"
Wu Weian put down the empty teacup and asked, "How did the Third Miss recognize me?"
Ji Yunxi's elegant and gorgeous face was expressionless. She looked at him without answering.
Wu Weian did not return Ji Yunxi's gaze.
He reached out for the purple clay teapot, extended one hand across the table, and lightly held his sleeve with the other hand. He first added some tea to Ji Yunxi's teacup, which she had only taken a sip of, and then added new tea for himself.
His actions were smooth and his attitude was somewhat humble.
Of course, he didn't say anything.
A silent contest.
But both of them knew that it was Ji Yunxi who first revealed her needs.
Ji Yunxi stretched out her hand and gently stroked the teacup with her fingertips.
The teacup is made of the finest Hetian jade, and feels as delicate as a young girl's skin.
The water temperature inside is just right, and it feels warm to the touch.
Okay.
Ji Yunxi raised her chin slightly: "The scar of the crescent moon."
Wu Weian was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the scar between his right index finger and little finger.
The scar is actually not big, just a small one, and it has faded a lot with the passage of time.
He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and had so many scars all over his body that he had even forgotten how this waning moon was left.
Wu Weian nodded: "I took it."
Ji Yunxi hummed, took a sip from the teacup and asked, "Sir, are you married?"
Wu Weian was slightly surprised, but not alarmed at all. He chuckled and said, "Not yet."
Ji Yunxi put down the teacup, and looked straight at him with a pair of bright and clear eyes without any shyness: "Oh, then what do you think of me?"
Wu Wei'an stopped smiling and looked at her: "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the Third Miss."
Ji Yunxi was very direct: "You deserve it."
Wu Wei'an tapped the table lightly: "I'm not worthy of you. Thank you for your kindness, Miss."
After being rejected twice, it seems that this business is indeed not easy to do.
Ji Yunxi lowered her eyes and threw out bait: "The Ji family can help you."
